Cotton Carrier Introduces G3 Camera Harness
15 June 2017
Cotton Carrier has announced a new G3 camera harness, updating its innovative hands-free camera carrying system featuring its Twist & Lock mount. The new harness has been completely redesigned to be easier to put on with a more comfortable fit. Other refinements include added straps, breathable fabrics, added pockets and new colors.
To celebrate the new release, the company is running a Golden Hub contest for customers who order by July 4. One of them will receive a gold hub camera mount with their order worth $1,000.
NEW FEATURES
New features on the G3 Camera Harness includes color options in Realtree Xtra Camouflage and Charcoal Gray, more padding on the shoulder straps and back panel for balanced weight distribution, two front pockets, a breathable rear stretch pocket to store extra gear and a quieter lens stabilization strap. Plus, a new camera rain cover folds into itself to stay out of the way until it's needed.
"We heard from a lot of wildlife shooters who loved our harnesses" said Andy Cotton, Cotton Carrier co-founder, "but felt the black exterior was too military. So, we collaborated with the premier camo pattern makers in Realtree to upgrade our most popular line."
THREE STYLES
The newly redesigned camera harness is available in three styles, including the CCS G3 Camera Harness-1 to secure one dSLR camera with a long lens, the CCS G3 Camera Harness-2 for one or two cameras of any body type and a variety of lenses and the CCS G3 Camera Harness for 1 Camera and 1 Binocular which secures any size camera and holds binoculars horizontally.
"At Cotton Carrier, we are always trying to improve upon what we create," said Brook Parker, Cotton Carrier co-founder. "We talked with customers to find out what they wanted and redesigned our most popular harnesses to reflect requests for an easier fit, more comfortable design, added pockets and more stylish colors. We are excited to provide these upgrades to benefit photographers."
PRICE, AVAILABILITY, CONTEST
Cotton Carrier is initially only taking orders online for two of the styles in either gray or camo through a special pre-order sale for mid-July delivery. Prices are:
- CSS G3 Harness-1: $99 ($119 regularly)
- CSS G3 Harness-2: $139 ($159)
The third style CCS Binocular & Camera Harness is not currently listed for pre-order.
Customers who are among the fist 500 to order a new harness for July delivery will receive a chance to win $1,000 in a Golden Hub contest. One customer will find a gold hub camera mount in their packaging which will provide the answer to a "skill testing question" entitling them to a $1,000 prize.
